From the Interview: “I try to uncover what I genuinely think and feel deep down when I write poetry, to get beneath surface considerations. Delving through a mystical process into what we are barely aware we know is a huge point of the process of writing poetry for me. Because the world is always changing, we necessarily ‘make it new’ when we probe the unconscious. But the world is always staying the same, too, and in that respect we find things in the unconscious that resonate.” ~Amanda J. Bradley
